These Jumbo Snickerdoodle Cookies are a giant take on the classic cookie. They are soft, buttery, thick, and so delicious!

I had a request to make these cookies from a reader. My Jumbo Sugar Cookies and Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies have been a big hit and one lady suggested I try a Snickerdoodle version. I thought that was a great idea and made some that night. They turned out awesome and I’m so excited to share them with you!

A Snickerdoodle is very similar to a sugar cookie but made with cinnamon sugar- yum! One key ingredient is cream of tartar. I know it’s kind of a pain to have to buy a special ingredient just for one recipe, but it’s pretty important here. It gives snickerdoodles their classic flavor and texture- keeping them thick, pillowy and soft and without it they have a tendency to get crisp and flat.

They are super easy to make, mixed in one bowl and the dough doesn’t need to chill at all. Much like my other recipes, I use a measuring cup to portion the dough out and only 3 cookies fit on a cookie sheet at a time. They bake up so big and the centers will look a little underdone, but that is how you want them. They will set up as they cool. If you like them a little more crispy, bake for the longer recommended time.

You will absolutely love how delicious these cookies are! Perfect for holiday baking or giving as a gift!
